Description:

Aimed at advanced students of French without an extensive background in linguistics, Savoir Dire clearly and accessibly explains all major features of standard French pronunciation. The text successfully integrates pronunciation practice into all the major components of general French study: language, linguistics, culture, and literature. This new edition provides students and professors with a fresh view of contemporary French pronunciation."New!" "Variety and balance of practice exercises" include activities that focus on pronunciation of everyday words and phrases, frequently used grammatical forms, nursery rhymes, dialogues, and poetry."New!" "Linguistic Notes" highlight regional and social variations in pronunciation, concentrating on the major areas of France and Quebec, as well as the most up-to-date research in French linguistics on the changes in French pronunciation."New!" "Enhanced focus on phonetics" provides new charts and tables that summarize phonetic information and complement the anatomical drawings illustrating speech during articulation of key sounds."New!" "Emphasis on the vocabulary of the speech organs" provides the vocabulary of the various speech organs, which students need in order to engage in a sophisticated discussion of the French sound system."Focus on correct pronunciation" teaches students to pronounce correctly by stressing the exact "articulation" of each sound, the "prosodic features" of French as compared to those of English, the relationship between "sound and orthography," the "comparison" of similar sounds in "French and in English," and the rules of pronunciation with the principal exceptions to these rules.
